Board of Trustees Meeting

Tags Board Meeting Updates

Dear Members of the Hamilton Community,

Thank you for welcoming board members, alumni, and parents to campus during Fallcoming and Family Weekend. Preparing for more than 100 events and more than 1,500 guests requires an extraordinary effort from everyone. I am grateful for all of your help making the weekend an enjoyable experience for all who attended.

We kicked off the festivities on Wednesday with our inaugural "Common Ground" program, a discussion with political strategists David Axelrod and Karl Rove, moderated by USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page P'10. Other highlights of the weekend included the Senior Gift Kickoff reception, the Comstock Memorial Scholarship Lunch, the recognition of Bruce Gaylord '70 and Gail Kelly P'06,'09 as the Jeff Little Volunteers of the Year, the Memorial Service for Life Trustee Joseph F. Anderson '44, and the dedication of the Tietje Family Tennis Center and Falmouth Road Race Reunion Courts.

For many of our guests, however, watching our students on the playing field, on stage, and in the poster sessions was the real highlight. Thank you to everyone who participated or played a role in preparing our students for those events.

At its quarterly meeting, the Board of Trustees welcomed three new alumni trustees: Ann Goizueta '90, James Hacker '81, P'19,'20, and Kathleen O'Connor Stewart '84. The board heard reports on admission, advancement, student mental health, strategic planning, and comparative college data. The Board also approved the promotion to professor of Rebecca Murtaugh. Please join me in congratulating her.

The next board meeting will take place December 1 in New York City in conjunction with the 1812 Leadership Circle Weekend.

All best,

David Wippman
